A great stay in this airbnb. As described, this charming place is in an alley (soi) that is right off a main street. Walk a few steps into the Soi and the noise of the city drops away, and you are walking past homes of local folks, going about their lives. The airbnb itself is a lovely mix of old and new. It is a traditional shophouse that has been updated with modern bathrooms and comfy furniture, while retaining the vibe of the original house. Good hot water, great AC, relaxing sitting area, good beds (firm like the rest of Thailand). Felt very safe. Host was great with check-in instructions, a map of the local area with recommended restaurants, and we appreciated things like accurately pinning the location in G**gle Maps and Grab, so it's super easy to get yourself to and from. The metro is a few blocks away, and from there it's only a few stops to the Grand Palace, or other direction to Sukhumvit area.
